General Information about HighLow

The first impression you get when visiting the home page is of a platform that is focused and doesn’t stray too far out of its circle of competence. The site offers two basic option types, HIGH/LOW and HIGH/LOW Spread (there are 2 additional options based on the same concept but with different timeframes). The time frames extend from 1 minute to 1 hour but changes depending on the option you choose to purchase. Currency pairs are the main available assets.

HighLow is a sleek binary platform focused on an Australian audience. The platform is regulated by the Australian Securities & Investment Committee (ASIC) and holds an Australian Financial Services License. AFSL is difficult to get as the licensed body needs to meet high standards in the areas of capital requirements, risk management, staff training, accounting and audits.

However, despite being licensed through the ASIC and with a focus on Australian traders, HighLow accepts clients from around the globe. When you an open account, the platform will ask you to input your country. If your country is on the drop down list, you are good to go.

Information about the Trading Platform

The HighLow broker trading platform is highly intuitive. It’s easy to use for beginners, and has a wealth of information for more advanced traders. Everything you need to make winning trades you have on screen. On the top, there are tabs for each of the four options the broker provides – Spread High/Low, High/Low, On Demand, Spread On Demand. When you click on each tab, you will see some slight changes as the timeframes change depending on the option you are looking to purchase.

Below the tabs, you can choose a time frame. Below the time frames is a ticker which shows you the price of the underlying assets you can choose. Then there is the dynamic graph which changes with the market data. On the graph you can actually purchase the option by clicking either the high or low button, depending on how you anticipate the market will move. See screenshot for how the trading platform looks.
